Do you have a laptop Jeff. If so talk with Jenna about getting the EFI live stuff. They have a version that is just for reading codes. I forgot how much she said it was but it was less than 500.

I don't have a lap top. I was hoping to get one that did more than just read the codes. I'm just having another stupid issue with my truck. One day it run's like a top, and the next day she stumbles and what feel's like a miss. The SES light isn't on. I miss the old carb's, and cam driven fuel pumps.

All done within the last 10K. I'm thinking the damn distributor gear may be worn.

that would do it too...

My Blazer came like that, lol.

There was a batch of them that weren't hardened properly.

When was your last Seafoam treatment? lol

I haven't done one. I'm considering doing the Seafoam, and having a look at the dist gear tomorrow or Friday before I head up to Michigan. Of course, I'll be changing the oil/filter after I do the Seafoam treatment.
